The first lady reportedly said in a statement afterwards of the visit, \"As we remember, with deep humility and reverence, the historic plight of slavery which the Jewish and African-American people have known all too well, we rededicate ourselves to those powerful words that both our nations hold dear: \"NEVER AGAIN!\"
